A Fun Sunday

Colleen and I pedaled our bicycles down to Wilshire Blvd. and took part in a CycLAvia bicycle, tricycle, unicycle, skateboard, walking, running, roller blading, scootering event that closed down the Blvd from downtown to Fairfax Ave.  Over 100,000 people participated creating a real sense of community in this big city.  Here are a few pics from our experience.

Yes, sections of the Berlin Wall were on display bringing back memories of the 1960's when I walked along the West side of the wall late at night with friends and traveled through Check Point Charlie to visit East Berlin.

Then I went to the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles production of "Not Entirely Wicked" with the music of Stephen Schwartz at the Saban Theatre.  Stephen was there playing the piano and singing some of his music and joined by Liz Callaway who sang with Stephen and on her own. 

The program included a medley from "Pippin, and "Godspell," Schwartz at the Movies, "Prince of Egypt, The Hunchback of Notre Dame," "Pocahontas," "Enchanted," "Wicked," and a song entitle "Testimony" inspired by the "It Gets Better" project.  The afternoon was fun, moving and inspiring with over 100 talented singers and accompaning music.

And the grand finale of the day was a wonderful dinner with Judith and Stanley at their home in La Canada with great food and reminiscing with friends about the "good ole days."

Wow!  What a Day!
